Stayed in Studio Room (20). Small but clean and comfortable. Received email and phone call prior to arrival informing me that my room was ready. Still stopped by Front Deck and lady was very nice and friendly. Would stay again.

Dirty, rusty, and tiny room.. the toilet is right next to the wall and shower so you can't use it unless you stand up to the side.. micro sink.. sure, it's within walking distance to the beach, but this would not be a place to stay for more than one night..

The room was clean and beautiful. The bathroom was a bit uncomfortable, due to the placement of the toilet in the corner. Our feet sat on the rim of the shower when we had to use it. That should be on the list to remodel or upgrade soon. People with mobility issues would have a BAD time with it being in that position. That was the only issue we noticed. Enjoyed the stay other than that.

Cute art deco decor and great location. However, beds were metallic and creaky. There was no extra blanket for the pull out couch.

We got the deluxe suite and we came late on the christmas eve. The staff called me early before they leave. They sent me the code right away. By the time we came the property was ready and clean. It’s spacious and can accommodate all of us 5 adult and 2 toddlers. Will recommend to others. Price is affordable and it helps us a lot.
